We love cruising the department store beauty floor just as much as the next product snob, but beauty treasures aren’t exclusively lurking in the aisles of Bergdorf Goodman. In fact sometimes the buys you find at the drugstore (and even on infomercials!) are just as good—or even better. That's why we’re highlighting our favorite beauty buys under $30. These are the best products money (or the lack thereof…) can get. Here’s to the ultimate combo: good and inexpensive!

1. PediSpa by Look Beauty Gentle Exfoliating Foot Mask, $10

It won’t be long before your feet are out on full display and that can be a scary thing after months of being relegated to boots. Give your heels some love via this kit, which comes with a pair of wearable foot masks for your feet. They work to control callus build-up, which disappears in about two weeks. Just remember that if your summer footwear looks anything like this (you know, because you’re saving so much by following our frugal beauty-buying advice…), regular foot mask maintenance is a non-negotiable.

2. Nuance Flawless Finish Liquid Foundation, $15

Salma Hayek swears she won't use anything but this foundation because it melds a high-performing color cover-up with a treatment–it’s formulated with tepezcohuite, which is a bark often used on burn victims to regenerate their skin. If it’s good enough for Salma when she’s under the HD lens, then it's good enough for us. The silky formula goes on more like a moisturizer than a cakey complexion concealer.

3. BeautyRx Exercise Kit, $12

It’s easy to come up with an excuse to skip the gym–don’t let acne be one of them. To avoid breaking out, it’s important to wash your face before AND after sweating. If you work out with dirty skin, that oil and residue will be pushed into your pores every time you wipe your face with a towel. This kit comes with pre-workout Anytime Pads to remove dirt, oil, and makeup and glycolic Clear Pads for post-workout exfoliation.

4. Yes To Blueberries Healthy Hair Repair Regimen, $16

Some drugstore shampoos and conditioners feel like soapy laundry detergents, not so with this 98 percent natural duo inspired by prestige brands. Both products are formulated without chemicals like sulfates and parabens, so they won’t leave your hair parched and in need of a leave-in treatment.

5. Nip+Fab Kale Clay Fix Mask, $20

Love it or hate it, kale isn’t going anywhere. Now in addition to showing up on your plate, it’s showing up in the beauty aisles. First with nails and now via a new line of kale-infused products by Rodial's budget-friendly spin-off, Nip + Fab. Among the standouts in the line is this clay mask—because if there’s one thing the beauty industry loves as much as kale, it’s clay. The new product works to draw out impurities while feeding your skin with hydrating superfood extracts.

6. Essie Second Shine Around, $9

Most manicurists recommend re-applying your top coat every other day to lengthen the wear of your manicure, but that can make for a thick mess. That's why Essie came up with this innovative top coat designed to be much thinner than a traditional sealer. It also dries faster and finishes with a slight shine. You’ll have a gel effect, minus the temptation to peel and damage your nails. ____

7. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, $7

Coming to the US by way of France, micellar water should be a staple on all American vanities. Made without cleansing chemicals, it’s suitable for every skin types. Apply on a cotton ball or Q-tip, swipe, and that’s it. While there are a number of luxe alternatives, Garnier’s version uses oil spheres (versus soap or alcohol) to cleanse away makeup and dirt, meaning it won’t strip your skin of moisture.

8. Proactiv+ 3-Piece System, $30

While Proactiv may have a history of hot celebrity endorsers including Jessica Simpson and Adam Levine, there isn’t anything sexy about this brand. Frankly, however, it’s irrelevant because there’s good reason Proactiv’s 3-step system is the best selling acne system in America: It works—fast—and without drying your skin or leaving it with a noxious scent.

9. Jean Pierre Cosmetics Nail Polish Remover Wipes, $4

These acetone-free nail wipes will remove polish–even the stubborn glitter kind–in mere seconds. Formulated with vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5, these wipes won't leave your cuticles ashy and dry. Each cloth is about as big as your hand, so you have plenty of space to clear all 10 digits.

10. Sephora Collection Total Age Defy Cream SPF 15 Sunscreen, $30

Forget caviar-infused products, dermatologists across the board agree that the most potent anti-ager is sunscreen. While you probably slather SPF on your face every day (right?), sometimes you can forget the less-obvious spots like eyes, lips, and ears. This triple threat from Sephora not only protects those sensitive areas, but it also works to correct past damage and moisturize.
